lyrics

Come down, come and stay beside me
When the moon staggers down these empty streets
No sound, only shadows moving
Like an old man walking straight out of a dream

He’s looking for something that’s so far away
A black and white photograph
Lost in the halls of memory - faded to gray
A streetlight breaks the reverie, and her image starts to shine

She’s coming back to him in Kodacolor light
Moments are streaming by, pictures of a life
And then the morning sun rose in a tangerine sky
And I needed you to
Come down, come and stay beside me
When the sun moves across the fields of green

We’re looking for something, it’s right in our hands
So close that we almost can’t see
The cords of experience, woven in love
While rain comes down like crinoline to the fields so far below

It falls on us standing here, right by the riverside: Day after day
Watching the amber leaves, endlessly go by
Here in the autumn rain, under a fleeting sky
I’m still asking you:
My love, won’t you stay beside me
When the snow falls across the fields of white?

When the woods, dark and deep, fill quietly with snow
The moments we choose to keep are all we really know
And someday a burning moon will float in an auburn sky
And I’ll be asking you:
My love, won’t you stay beside me
When the wind moves across the fields of light?
